Coupe, offset is +12... Are you less tire pressure

I just got new tires and haven't made any changes to them yet. I have been driving the car very little due to this nice weather i'm on my bike. In the past I have ran the pressure a little lower.

Always run 32psi unless your stretch, if you stretch then you should understand tire pressure before you dive into that shallow pool.

What wheel shop might this be? 265 is technically an over sized tire for 8.5" (Too wide) wheel and also an incredibly tall tire for 20" wheels (more than an Inch taller than stock)

If you go with the 8.5+30 then I would recommend 245/35/20.

You'll probably rub in the front depending on the offset... i'd roll your fenders

Assuming it's the sedan in your signature (I've been wrong on that assumption before lol)

Are you lowered? The offset you're looking for is going to be roughly +36-+40

However, I cant recall how much inner clearance the second gen sedans have and weather or not the front wheel would rub on the strut with that high of an offset.

JDM_cain and myself are both running 11s in the back. If you don't know someone that can do good fender work and you don't know about stretching and camber then these aren't for you...

What are the front specs?

You're looking at lowering the car pretty damn low, putting a 255/35 or 245/35 tire on it, running about -4 degrees of camber and then pulling the fenders the rest of the way.

The rear will end up looking something like this (18x11 +20 255/35/18 -4.7 Degrees of camber)

Any body ever seen stock rims with a .20 or .25 spacer? Quick fix for a horrendous wheel gap problem?

Yeah there are a few pics floating around on here with 25mm front and rear. Some do 30mm/25mm, or 20mm/25mm.

Thats a tall tire, even taller than the 265/35 that the shop recommended you. I would keep it to the 245/35/20 that 4D recommended. 245/35 is just slightly larger than stock and will look good.

OE sizes are about 26.3" O.D. It's best to stick around that size. Some run smaller, but thats usually because they are slammed.
